• Porto - The adventure begins at Rua Mouzinho da Silveira 34, where guests will be warmly welcomed aboard a comfortable 9-seat van, equipped with air conditioning to ensure a pleasant journey on warmer days. The trip will then proceed on a picturesque 1.5-hour drive from Porto into the heart of the Douro Valley, where an unforgettable experience awaits.

• Pinhao - Following the scenic drive, the first stop is in the heart of the Douro Valley for an exclusive visit and tasting. The tour partners with smaller, family-owned wineries, offering a warmer welcome, personal stories, and wines crafted with passion. Here, guests will connect directly with the producer, gaining a genuine understanding of the Douro’s essence, away from the commercial atmosphere of larger estates.

• Pinhao - Still in the charming town of Pinhão, guests will embark on a gentle one-hour cruise along the Douro River. This experience is about the breathtaking views only visible from the water. As the boat glides quietly between the hills, guests will witness the valley from its most intimate perspective, where endless terraces of vines cascade towards the river. This landscape is what earned the Douro its UNESCO World Heritage status — timeless, pristine, and unforgettable.

• Peso Da Regua - After exploring Pinhão, the journey continues along the winding road to Peso da Régua — a delightful town just 30 minutes away, connected to Pinhão by what is often described as the most beautiful road in Portugal, and one of the most stunning in the world. The National Road 222 meanders gracefully alongside the Douro River, revealing view after view of sunlit vineyards and shimmering waters.

The final winery visit takes place here. During a lovingly prepared lunch, each course is paired with carefully selected Douro wines, transforming the meal into a true celebration of the region. Afterwards, there will be a brief visit, concluding with a tasting of a fine, aged Port — the perfect farewell to the valley’s rich flavors and warm hospitality.

• Porto - After a day filled with breathtaking landscapes, rich flavors, and unforgettable wines, the return journey to Porto will be a relaxing 1.5-hour drive. The expected arrival at the meeting point is around 5:30 PM, though the exact time may vary due to traffic or other factors. A little flexibility is appreciated, as the Douro often encourages lingering a bit longer.
